Hey guys I'm new here my names Jacob, I am 22 from ohio and have been browsing the forums quite often just haven't posted anything yet. So far all I've seen is a bunch of helpful people on here so that's awesome.
Anyways on to my subject. I've recently purchased a little starter kit to make some home brews. When I bought the kit it came with one brewers best kit and since it's the time of the year I choose the pumpkin porter.
I followed the directions and everything seems to be going smooth so far. I had it in the bucket for a week and 2 days until there was no apparent action taking place for 48 hrs like the instructions said. Since them I've seen people say to leave it longer but anywho now it's in the Carboy and has been for right at two weeks. So here soon I plan to bottle this batch. The kit came with 10oz of priming sugar. 10oz just seems like a lot compared to other recipies and posts I've seen concerning this topic. I was just looking for some recommendations on how much I should actually use in this batch. And maybe someone can inform me how much water to mix it in with and the boil time and also do you put the sugar in the bottom of the bottling bucket first or do you transfer your beer from the Carboy to bottling bucket and then pour the sugar into the bucket?
I know this is a lot to ask at once but I'd appreciate any insight.
Thanks guys
